Senators, net neutrality advocates rail against looming lame-duck confirmation of new FCC commissioner

Re: I know I'll get in trouble with the admins for this...

If you sense trouble, it may be your conscience signaling your recognizing a UX matter may be resolved in a better way (UX - user experience). As a contributor and forum facilitator (not here but other communities/online and offline) it derails comments related to the post others are looking to learn about. To pop over to about and find an admin contact, or give the Register a call (old school, I know...) Net Neutrality is the subject our host has welcomed our comment, on the content they've shared with their readers (you and I and others). May be the folks at the Register could just post a link to - "if you have ideas or concerns how to post a comment, click here" - but to bring lift as a participant in a forum or to tease out a subject directly relevant to the article in discussion is what this space is best applied toward - with kindness it is off topic to wedge a splinter off subject or a product question (in this case how the logistics of posting comments works) and hijack the discussion.

Let's Reframe the Issue

Part of the challenge of this issue, is a public absent defending their right to access. Thank you for the great reporting (!) curious where the key dates are for the public or a broader NGO front to watch for specific dates, votes, key pressure points in Congress (or the Senate to mount pressure with colleagues) - constituents of the areas hardest hit when access and structure of an open Internet shifts? Will #BLM advocates feel the greatest brunt or LGBTQ or low income communities or elders? Democracy works when the people exercise their agency. These past four years have created a level of numb our nation has not experienced before. We cannot let net neutrality become one of the casualties of the current False Reality era. Is there a series of articles (or a couple articles) to come to help advocates share to their memberships, volunteers, readers, communities or citizens - all the ways and in which states, most impacted regions or areas - the risk will be greatest? What are the things folks reading this can do, today - tomorrow - next week? Thanks for pressing into this and the good work The Register contributes.
